Japan Christian Missionary


If you want to get to know a Japan Christian missionary, why not start with his blog? Great idea. But when it comes to Jonathan Wilson, you may find yourself visiting several blogs. Jonathan has made use of blogging since 2003 to highlight different areas of ministry in his part of Tokyo.

Nearly 128 million people live in Japan. The Wilsons live in Ome, Tokyo. Their church is the Grace Christian Fellowship, which you can visit in cyberspace at gracejapan.com. But let's take a look at the blogs...

The blogs

Japan girls I was first introduced to Jonathan through his personal Blogger blog. You can read about this Japan Christian missionary and his thoughts on Japan there. This blog has been up and running since the spring of 2003, and news, family stories and thoughts on Japan and ministry dominate the landscape. As of this writing, the rss feed is not working for some reason.

Also on Blogger, Jonathan posts prayer requests and news from the church. Loaded with updates and pictures, this site will give you a personal look at the ministry of a church in Japan. Check out the PrayerUpdate blog. I believe this is another related blog in Japanese.

A ministry of the church is Grace Christian International School. Meet the staff and get the news at their blog, GCIS. Jonathan and another staff member, Renee' Van Druff contribute to this blog. Read it in Japanese too, if you can.

Hopefully we can look forward to many other Japan Christian missionaries blogging in the future! For now, take a moment to get to know one Japan Christian missionary, and to see what God is doing in and through a group of believers in this amazing country.

We have another page with blogs in Japan - read about Christian missionaries in Okinawa, Japan.

Another Japan Christian missionary?  You bet, we have a few more.  Check out Reflections of Refinement.  Blogging since 2004, Amber lives near Tokyo and shares lots of stories, pictures and thoughts about her life there.
